Default Motor Officers riding side by side in

Washington State... Is that leagal? We can't, Washington is a non-lane sharing state. I would have thought that meant motor officers also. But on the way into Seattle today, there are 2 "Traffic" motor cops side by side cooking down I-5 in the HOV lane doing 65. Maybe they can, we can't thing?

Legal in Florida, I enjoy it when I'm riding in the right conditions with somebody I trust. My wife has even met that requirement! Didn't realize it was not allowed some places.

The motors guys train, HARD, for that sort of stuff.

Wait they come blasting past you on either side in the same lane! I had that happen when I first started riding. Almost quit right then. Ed

Next time you see them doing that.. make a Citizens Arrest! See how far it gets you!

Every job has its PERKS. Looks like that's one of them.

Legal in Kansas. No law at all says bikes can't ride 2x2. Lotta places give Cops free coffee too. Consider it a bennie to make up for lousy pay.
